3. Iterative Stages Model Analysis of Operational requirements System specification Software Design Implementation and testing Evaluation and maintenance

4. Project Proposal  Sometimes known as the Problem Definition  Limitations of existing system  Company Profile  Project Requirements  Migration Routes  Budget Constraints  Used as a basis for bids/offers for developers.

5. Feasibility Study  Technical  Economic  Legal  Schedule  Advantages for both clients and developers.

6. System Investigation  Undertaken by a System Analyst  Observation  Interview  Document and data flow inspection  Establish scope, boundaries, inputs and outputs  Produces an Operational Requirements Document (ORD).

7. Operational Requirements Document (ORD)  Legally binding contract  Functional Requirements  Data Requirements  Physical Specification  Scope and Boundaries  Inputs and Outputs  System Prospectus

8. ORD: Functional Requirements  Used at the beginning of the design stage to identify the features to be present in the proposal software.  Used to validate other stages or analysed at the end of design/implementation/etc to ensure functional requirements are being met.  Used for dispute resolution between client and developer.

9. ORD: Scope and Boundaries  Scope: What the proposal software will be able to do.  Boundaries: The limitations of the software (what it will not be able to do).

10. ORD: Data Requirements  The data structures which will be used.  The amount of data which the software will generate and store.

11. ORD: System Prospectus  Schedule – preliminary timings and task dependencies.  Proposed Documentation.  Training required to use the software.

12. Development Phase  System Design:  Flow chart  Data Flow Diagram  Jackson Structured Programming  Pseudocode  Checked to make sure it matches specification and customer requirements.

13. Implementation and Testing  Coding and Testing  Design and Test HCI  Set up Hardware  Convert legacy files  Complete documentation and Manuals  Train Staff

14. Testing  Dry runs  Structured Walkthroughs  White box (Structural Testing)  Black box (Functional Testing)  Module >Sub System > Complete System

15. Adopting a New System  Pilot conversion  Phased conversion  Direct conversion (Sudden Death)  Parallel conversion

16. Maintenance  Corrective  Adaptive  Perfective  Preventative

17. Evaluation (Questions)  Does it meet the specification?  It is what the client want?  Is it fit for purpose?
